That is the sweetest faith I have ever seen!! and just out of interrest which of those forks do you prefere and what are some of the positives and negatives, because Im looking at up grading my drop off triples and I trying to choose with i should go for (boxxers or 888's)

Cheers

Thanks, acually the Faith looks even better in real life...I've heard rumours that Giant are thinkng about releasing an anniversary Faith model in 2010, don't know how true it is but when you see how filthy it looks pimped, it kinda makes sense. As for the forks no idea :eek: I've been busted up and apart fom rolling in the backyard I have no idea - the 09 888 look great with the 38mm Nickel plated stanchions...they are a fair bit heavier than the Boxxers....but with the Faith we were going more for a 'look' rather than a race machine. As soon as I get a medical clearance I am goona let loose on them & then write a report on both bikes & components, especially the forks as I am curious myself!:)

Sweet bikes - what did you do to your elbow, olecranon?
Thanks - yep that's the one 3mm crack right through olecranon bone, so it is wired & 18 stitches...wire to come out in 3 months but should be allowed to ride before that :) only thing is they have remake the incision to take the wire out so I will be out again until the stitches are out and wound heals AGAIN:(

Ah yep, I did the same bone with the same treatment, I had slightly more than a crack though :eek: I'm keeping my hardware for the reasons you said, pretty over hospitals as I bet you are. I've only just started riding again after 5 months (and still against docs orders and with a weak as shit arm) but go hard with your exercises and calcium and I'm sure you'll be back asap.
